    Abstract Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common medical problem frequently observed in children, psychiatric patients and prisoners. Various cases have been found in the medical literature, with different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. We report a case of a 41-year-old male inmate, hospitalized for right upper quadrant pain of the abdomen due to the ingestion of two syringe needles two weeks previously. We describe the diagnostic procedure and the removal of one of the two needles that had migrated into the liver parenchyma, using a single-incision laparoscopic surgical technique. The operation was carried out safely through a 2.5 cm transverse incision below the umbilicus. The dissection and the removal of the foreign body were easily conducted under direct visualization using a minimally invasive surgical technique. Our case report demonstrates the efficacy and the security of the laparoscopic treatment in such a challenging area, employing a single port access only.

    Abstract Abstract Background Mechanical bowel preparation is routinely done before colon and rectal surgery, aimed at reducing the risk of postoperative infectious complications. The aim of the study was to assess whether elective colon and rectal surgery can be safely performed without preoperative mechanical bowel preparation. Methods Patients undergoing elective colon and rectal resections with primary anastomosis were prospectively randomized into two groups. Group A had mechanical bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol before surgery, and group B had their surgery without preoperative mechanical bowel preparation. Patients were followed up for 30 days for wound, anastomotic, and intra-abdominal infectious complications. Results Two hundred forty four patients were included in the study, 120 in group A and 124 in group B. Demographic characteristics, type of surgical procedure and type of anastomosis did not significantly differ between the two groups. There was no difference in the rate of surgical infectious complications between the two groups but the overall infectious complications rate was 20.0% in group A and 11.3% in group B (p .05). Wound infection (p = 0.18), anastomotic leak (p = 0.52), and intra-abdominal abscess (p = 0.36) occurred in 9.2%, 5.8%, and 5.0% versus 4.8%, 4.0%, and 2.4%, respectively. No mechanical bowel preparation seems to be safe also in rectal surgery. Conclusions These results suggest that elective colon and rectal surgery may be safely performed without mechanical preparation.

    Abstract Background/aims: The number of lymph nodes required for accurate staging is a critical component in colorectal cancer (CRC). Current guidelines demand at least 12 lymph nodes to be retrieved. Results of previous studies were contradictory in factors, which influenced the number of harvested lymph nodes. This study was designed to determine the factors that influence the number of harvested lymph nodes (> or = 12) in resective R0 early-stage CRC in a single institution.
    Methodology: Between July 2005 and December 2008, data on 225 patients who underwent surgery for CRC were retrospectively evaluated. Data for a total of 139 R0-surgery patients were collected and all the tumor-bearing specimens were fixed with node identification performed. Several possible factors that influence 12 or more harvested lymph nodes were investigated and classified into four aspects: (1) operating surgeon, (2) examining pathologist, (3) patient (age, sex, and body mass index) and (4) disease (tumor localization, tumor cell differentiation, tumor stage, type of resection).
    Results: A total of 100 patients (71.9%) with 12 or more harvested lymph nodes and 39 patients (28.1%) with < 12 lymph nodes were analyzed. The results demonstrate that within a single institution, tumor localization, depth of tumor invasion according to Dukes stage and grading were independent influencing factors of 12 or more harvested lymph nodes. Neither the operating surgeon nor the examining pathologist had significant influence on the number of harvested lymph nodes.
    Conclusions: The number of harvested lymph nodes was highly variable in patients who underwent resection of R0 CRC. Neither the operating surgeon nor the examining pathologist had significant influence over the number of harvested lymph nodes. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the surgeons, disease itself is the most important factor influencing the number of harvested lymph nodes.

    Abstract Small bowel metastases from a primary lung carcinoma are rare. We report a case of a 76-year-old male with a primary neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma of the lung, treated by chemotherapy, who developed fever and bowel symptoms (subocclusion and pain). On CT examination, he was found to have a tumour in the small bowel. The patient then underwent abdominal surgery. At operation we found small bowel occlusion by neoplasia and we therefore resected 15 cm of ileum with a side-to-side anastomosis. Early recognition of this rare condition is important due to the fact that complicated intestinal metastases from lung carcinoma can lead to high mortality rates and poor short-term outcomes. With advances in chemotherapy and palliative care, patients with metastatic lung carcinoma can sometimes survive more than a year with a reasonable quality of life.

    Abstract Abstract Background Urachal carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm associated with poor prognosis. Case presentation A 45-year-old man was admitted with complaints of abdominal pain and pollakisuria. A soft mass was palpable under his navel. TC-scan revealed a 11 × 6 cm tumor, which was composed of a cystic lesion arising from the urachus and a solid mass component at the urinary bladder dome. The tumor was removed surgically. Histological examination detected poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma, which had invaded the urinary bladder. The patient has been followed up without recurrence for 6 months. Conclusion The urachus is the embryological remnant of urogenital sinus and allantois. Involution usually happens before birth and urachus is present as a median umbilical ligament. The pathogenesis of urachal tumours is not fully understood. Surgery is the treatment of choice and role of adjuvant treatment is not clearly understood.

    Abstract A patient presented with an acute abdomen at the Emergency Department. The patient, a 69-year-old man, was admitted and underwent surgery with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis. During surgery, omental torsion was diagnosed and the involved omentum was removed. The patient had no previous surgical history. Omental torsion is a rare cause of acute abdomen in children and adults who may present with various signs and symptoms; a preoperative diagnosis may therefore be difficult and can usually only be established during surgery.

    Abstract Here we report a case of a 60 years old woman who came to the Emergency Department of San Martino Hospital suffering from abdominal pain for about a week with high fever in the last 24 hours. The final histological examination led to the diagnosis of ileal diverticulosis associated with perforation and peritonitis with a fibrotic reaction involving the last ileal loop, the caecum and the appendix.
